DNN4 has the conn string in two places, make sure you have it in both. It looks like you only have it in one, but that's just a guess.

Look closely at your connection strings.  Anything in between "<!--" and "-->" is ignored as comments, thus your connection strings are what is referred to as "commented out".

That was so simple... yet I would have never figured it out on my own!  Thank you so much for your help!  It finally installed successfully!
